Snow and ice aren't a problem for me; since I retired, I have absolutely no reason to drive, during the up to one week of ice on the roads in DFW Texas (snow never sticks around for more than three days). If the semi-feral cats bend/break the E53-style arm I just re-installed (didn't need a puller), I'll consider removing it , altogether. Or simply buy another $20 arm from Amazon, again (just for looks).
 missing the black cap that covers the 13mm nut (so I painted it)

 looks better now, with a snap-in cap from Amazon (may need to glue it...I have spares)
